Sit Back, Relax, and Let Us Read To You!

Whether you’re throwing a chic event or a casual party, choosing the best cocktail tables, ranging from contemporary LED cocktail table rentals to classic wood style, is the best way to provide style, function, and guest seating comfort.

Cocktail tables are not only functional but also help add an extra element of style to your event, define spaces, and provide a place to socialize as well. The right cocktail tables can ensure that any kind of event, from a quiet small gathering to a wedding reception to a glamorous launch party, goes off without a hitch.

Why Cocktail Tables Are Important at Events

Cocktail tables that are positioned well can promote interaction and movement. They are ideal places to relax while enjoying refreshments, appetisers, or conversation. You can create dynamic zones in a venue that naturally direct guests around by varying the heights, styles, and materials.

Consider your event's setting and mood when selecting cocktail tables. 

Do you want a bar table rental? Will most of your guests be standing?

Are you going for an eclectic, modern, or rustic look?


Which table rental options work best for you will depend on your responses.

FAQ:

1. What’s the difference between a bar table rental and a cocktail table rental?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but cocktail tables typically refer to small round or square high-top tables. A bar table rental can also include longer rectangular setups used for service or décor.

2. Are LED cocktail table rentals outdoor-friendly?


Most table rentals are battery-operated and weatherproof. They are great for outdoor evening parties and creating mood lighting.


3. How should I decide between rustic and modern styles?


Harmonize your table style with your festivity theme. Rustic tables are ideal for outdoor, barn, or vintage looks, and modern tables pair well with corporate or chic interior designs.


4. Can I combine different types of cocktail tables in one event?


Of course. Mixing styles, such as mixing LED tables with rustic wood, is visually appealing, and it helps to delineate different zones in the event space.
